After successfully navigating his decade-long journey from small-town Washington to the offices of Capitol Records, soul singer Allen Stone recently released his first major label LP, Radius, which debuted at No. 80 on the Billboard 200 chart. The record is stocked with admissions of love, mistake and regret, and is undoubtedly his most intimate project yet. Flavored with the occasional crystal-clear falsetto, Stone’s disarmingly soulful vocals complement the very authenticity that he hopes to make synonymous with his music. The singer chatted with Billboard about romance, technophobia and the desperate need to preserve the human element of art.
